“The President said in the Cultural Revolution Council meeting that hejab and chastity [violations] should be pursued, but without extremism. We also say to pursue it so it is not at the level of talks, as well as delegate agents to pursue it in order to see where chastity and the hejab are implemented and where they are not.”

“Implementing the chastity and hejab law is difficult in the street, market and along the beach, but not impossible; implementing this law is easier in hospitals, offices and universities.”

“Americans also seek to conduct a strike so they can show off their power, but on the other side know that military intervention in Syria will have a costly end for them.”

“Reason dictates that Syrian matters should be resolved with political meetings and negotiations...”

“The IRGC emerged based on virtue, faith and obedience to the Leader of Muslims. In the IRGC, the best, healthiest and simplest forces were trained so that these forces could also be present in many ministries and places. If there is a need for force, the priority certainly goes to the IRGC because these individuals have passed their test.”

“In reality, the bandanas that our Basijis tied to their heads and the same Islamic resistance spirit were transferred from Iran to Lebanese Hezbollah and the Muslims and mujahedin of Palestine. This spirit and doctrine of Resistance went to Lebanon and Occupied Palestine.”

“With God’s grace, Iran's army has transformed into a strong, experienced and capable army twenty-five years after the [Iran-Iraq] war’s end, and is now considered a powerful army in Western Asia.”

“The reality is that the Americans were defeated in the Syrian scene. This demonstrates the power of Iran’s penetration in affecting political, moral and psychological matters and, most importantly, the wise leadership of the Supreme Leader.”

“Iran’s military strategy is a completely defensive strategy. Islamic Iran will not start any war within its military strategy, but it does possess unimaginable power to confront potential invaders, and this power is also beyond Iran’s political borders.”

“Both the Americans and the Zionists know Iran’s power and must avoid even thinking about attacking Iran. Eight years of Sacred Defense must be a great lesson for them and Iran’s neighbors. The Americans know how vulnerable they are in the region and the Zionist regime also knows this. Remember the Supreme Leader’s speech [at the beginning of the year].”

The Tenth Cyber Hezbollah Conference took place today in Tehran with the theme of “Syria and Our Task.” Syrian Deputy Ambassador to Iran and Cultural Advisor Abd al-Mowali al-Noqri attended the conference and praised the “cyber activities of Iranian youth” as “very important.” “Syrian events documentary maker” Soheil Karimi provided the keynote address and said, “Our military presence in Syria is not necessary. But there is no reason for us to be indifferent to Syrian matters. Each must understand the Syrian war environment in some way. If Syria falls today, we must wait for them to strike Imam Khomeini Airport [in Tehran] with mortars.”

“The IRGC’s identity means the Islamic Revolution's identity and it is defined by that."

“The IRGC’s dignity is not partisanship and is completely separate from these discussions.”

“The IRGC must know currents, deviations and lines because if it does not know these currents well, it cannot protect the Revolution and its achievements or prevent deviations within the Revolution.”

“Certainly, an [IRGC member] cannot be a party member and intervene in its currents. But must he not vote? For example, in the recent presidential elections, a respected individual had said that ‘I know that the opinion of one of the IRGC senior commanders’ [Referring to IRGC Quds Force Commander Maj. Gen. Qassem Suleimani reportedly preferring then-candidate and former IRGC commander Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf]. Every individual has an opinion and votes for himself, and the IRGC has never told all Guardsmen to vote for a certain person.”

“The IRGC has never meddled in elections, we have never had a case regarding IRGC meddling, and introducing this matter is more an excuse to attack the IRGC and its pure forces supporting the Revolution.”

“This approach is closer to reality [that IRGC is a force created to preserve the Revolution] but is not the whole truth, and the IRGC cannot be summarized like this. Because it is possible that it can be imagined as a conservative force, for the IRGC to just sit and watch when a threat and attack emerges against the Revolution for it to defend against it, while if nothing happens it will stand on the side and not do anything. Therefore, this outlook is within the conservative and threat central complex.”

“The IRGC is not solitary, meaning it will prepare its shoulder where it is necessary to carry the weight of many responsibilities that advance the Revolution. This IRGC presence is sometimes in the scientific, construction, soft war, or cultural arenas, and as such, the IRGC must enter these fields.”

“Another individual that I can name in this field [that the Supreme Leader made prominent in the media] is Maj. Gen. Qassem Suleimani. It has been more than twenty years that he has been responsible for commanding and transferring the Revolution’s message beyond the country’s borders. But you see that it has been only a few years since he has become known. That was done by foreign media with attention to the discovery of his photograph in the IRGC Kerman 41st Sarallah Division and the announcement of [this presence].”

“The most important message and IRGC and Basij duty in the [2009] sedition was its timely awareness in increasing and informing. I believe that political currents must thank the IRGC for this political understanding and awareness. Because in the [2009] sedition, the scene was not military. Rather the scene was a Velvet Revolution and color scene and street marches and this was due to the deception operation in the [2009] sedition and introducing the accusation of cheating and such matters.”

“The IRGC is never a competitor and has never made the scene tighter for the private sector. It only conducts its duty based on its message. Just as we were successful with the people’s Basij during the war, we will enter into construction work where we know that a weight is left on the ground.”
